Found to require some guessing by infrapinklizzard.

After line logic,
Two-way logic 1 r24 = no matter whether it is in c4 or c5, r5c4 must be white
LL finishes outside


From here I don't see a moderate lookahead solution.

Since the 1 in c10 must cross a clue >1 and there is a 2 in c11 we know that something like a zigzag must happen. However, just because the first one you try works doesn't mean that you got it logically. If one starts with an assumption the only thing you can logically prove is a conflict, which could only prove that your assumption is wrong. You can never prove an assumption is right.

And even if it were so, it would be a very, very deep lookahead.

So some guessing.

As always, I am open to changing my mind if someone wants to post their method of solving this.

I placed a square of the "4" clues in the center of the white area, in the hopes that it was centered. Then I checked my solve, to see if I was correct. So, I *totally* cheated. :)

When I get stuck I sometimes use Kristen's solving solution.
